Hi, my name is Lisa Cash Hanson and I am the President of Blueberry Baboon, a business consulting company.  I'm sure I am like most of you as fellow entrepreneurs and business owners, we are so busy. Daily tasks such as making connections, emails, revamping web sites, writing 8 tips for selling, 5 tips to be a Millionaire, 10 ways to market....you get the picture, consume our days.

In the midst of one of these daily tasks late in the evening, I received this email:
 

"Hey friends.  On Saturday evening, I found out I'm going into brain surgery Sunday morning.  Apparently, I have spinal fluid leaking into my brain.  I have had a shunt since I was a few months old for the same reason.  This fluid leakage when I was an infant, is the reason why I'm mostly blind in both eyes.  This is a major surgery, but I'll be fine afterwords.  Please pray.
Blessings and good night."

When you get an email like this your entire focus just shifts.  I know that it is important to be diligent, determined , and hard working. But this note reminded me that the most important step in business, with your family and especially regarding your health...is to just be thankful.

So today I am thankful for my health, my ability to be creative and make money, my family, my faith and so may other things. What are you grateful for today? Remember to give thanks.
